holy crap! here i am, about a decade and a half after my first Formal
Instruction in programming, and i suddenly understand code
documentation. part of this is that sometimes i stare at functions
forgetting why they're there, or start writing a function with the
distinct feeling that i'm typing code i've already typed before, and
realize that maybe there's a better way.
so i skimmed code from other people that i've used in my own repos, and
lifted the general gist of their commenting style while doing things
that feel right to me. i still don't know exactly how i like things, but
i'm learning. this is the best way i learn things.
then. then! i learned that i can just pydoc any of my modules and pydoc
will generate literally the same thing that i read when i pydoc other
module! what. WHAT. this is amazing. i feel like a real person. i
understand where those docs come from now, and how to make them myself.
i'm learning so much.
why does this feel so amazing.
all of this is in a commit message that i'm going to fire off into the
sun but i just need to put this out there because this feels important.
patcher now asks user to set new publish option on load. publish and
unpublish correctly links or unlinks file from user's public_html.
also, ~tightened up the graphics a little~
now checks for user version; if it doesn't match current version, apply
patches.
current patch reconfigures user directories, moving files out of
public_html and setting up a symlink from user's "publish dir" to
.ttbp/www instead. also moves style.css into .ttbp/config and symlinks
to www/style.css in preparation for style selector.
first, breaking out all the setup optiosn into smaller functions for
better readability. adding an option to set blog to be published or not,
and checks this before printing public feels list.
_ttbp.py is now the working copy i'm using, so i don't bust the live
program.
i brought over the id code generator that i use in txtminebot to
generate random id tags for feedback subject lines. the feedback
mechanism now uses sendmail instead of writing to disk.
i also started to clean up some of the larger text blocks by using here
documents.
